The beaches
Beach La Mine d'Or - Pénestin :
A high cliff with ochre hues overlooking the sea..
The long 2-kilometer beach will captivate you. Its colours are reminiscient of the precious metal, it is not by chance that this cliff was exploited as a gold mine in the 19th century, 15hence its name,!
At the time, it sparked the wildest hopes but was closed during the First World War due to insufficient production.
Take a stroll there at the endof the day. At sunset, the orange cliff takes on all its reflections.
A truly magical view
